That sounds like it would work nicely Stephan, but we still have the
problem that every console app would contain the RB Framework and thus be
rather large. I know the GUI framework is probably the biggest bit of any
system, but it's still going to be a lot of overhead.
Does anyone else feel that this would be a nice feature request? I'm
thinking of wording it like this:
FEATURE REQUEST-->
Would like the ability to compile a project without the RB framework that
could then be called from within a project that does contain the RB
framework along with any plugin code needed by the smaller frameworkless
builds.
<--
I suppose my only concern would be that to do this you couldn't have those
smaller projects compiled into machine code, but rather only byte code.
But I have not even close to enough knowledge to know if this is the case.
Thanks,
Deane Venske

Using RB's late binding [soft declares], you could prepare e.g. a Cocoa
framework
and call functions of the framework.
With a bit extra work, you might prepare a wrapper, which allows to call
any function
of a Cococa framework [I'd call it a plugin] though certain intermediate
function.
If you speak of RB itself, a GUI app and several console apps might be
of help.
If console apps support networking - don't know if - you might use
sockets
to communicate between your master and the 'client plugin apps‘.
Although this
model wouldn't be suitable for any kind of app, the approach might be of
for
certain app types.

Hi Guys,
Just wondering, is there a way to modularize your code in order to
bring file sizes down? I'm thinking something like a parent app
containing the realbasic framework that then calls smaller compiled
apps that contain the compiled code for each module which can then in
turn call other modules etc. Would just be a very nice way of keeping
update sizes down. I do this with director, where my main projector is
just a shell and immediately calls the first (login/menu) module when
it opens. To give you an idea director projectors are around 2.5mb min,
and my dcrs (Compiled code) are between 20k and 250k.
Is there any other methods that people use to do this?
Regards,
Deane
